He went on: ‘Well, shall I tell you the honest truth about the whole thing? You gave me a hard time about the fee.

‘John Miles my agent, he did a deal. I was paid, I will say this, $2m in used notes into a Panama bank account.’

As laughter erupted around the studio, Noel went on: ‘I was contracted…contract said first out, I had a Winnebago round the back, there was a Noel Edmonds lookalike who did all the stuff, and I got to keep the boots and the hat.’

The Deal Or No Deal host also revealed that his wife Liz Davies knew he was going to leave first.

He told Piers and Susanna Reid: ‘Friends and family are transported from the hotel to the jungle, it’s about an hour’s drive in a minibus I assume, and it was the cause of great excitement you know, “Who will it be? Who will it be?” and Liz said, “It’s Noel. Noel’s coming out.”.’

‘Lots of people might be sad and angry he’s out but I’m really pleased,’ she said at the time.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV
